Im still debating this Lion fish just for that reason. I'm also wondering if it will really would get along with my 4.5" porcupine puffer and a 3" Star & Stripe puffer, and a med Foxface. I also have 2 bugger damsels in there, but their mean and no loss if eaten. However I would have to remove my 1" picasso trigger to my other tank, just in case.

Any thoughts? What kind of tankmates have you tried with a lionfish??


Thanks for all your feed back so far!

I've only seen them bother small (tiny) puffers, the foxface would be fine
and as long as the trigger doesn't fit in his mouth...but when it does....
I had a larger marine beta that was okay...even my little wrasse lived with it for six months...then he was snagged up pretty quick
